Leafeon ex #144

This Leafeon ex from Prismatic Evolutions is a particularly notable Special Illustration Rare, distinguished by its secret rare numbering (144/131), which indicates its scarcity within the set. As a Special Illustration Rare, its value is significantly driven by its exceptionally low pull rate compared to standard cards, making it one of the more challenging finds for collectors. The combination of its secret rare status and the unique artistic treatment of a Special Illustration Rare contributes to its desirability.

The card features Leafeon ex as a Tera Pokémon, granting it a unique visual style and the special rule: “As long as this Pokémon is on your Bench, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks.” This defensive ability makes Leafeon ex a resilient Pokémon in play. Its attacks offer strategic versatility: “Verdant Storm” scales damage based on the opponent's Energy, while “Moss Agate” provides substantial healing to Benched Pokémon. True to its Pokédex entry as the “Verdant Pokémon,” which states “Just like a plant, it uses photosynthesis. As a result, it is always enveloped in clear air,” the card's illustration often captures Leafeon in a serene, natural setting, emphasizing its connection to nature and photosynthesis.
